I live with an untrained health food inspector. Really. Or at least that’s how it feels sometimes when my wife and I have conversations around how long has <insert food item> been in the freezer? Plus we have debates about how long after a “best buy” date can you still eat something. Fortunately, Freezer Labels […]

I am on Day 30 of trying to complete 30 Days of Vegetarian eating. This was lunch. Meaning I only technically have one meal – dinner – and possibly an evening snack to go before I can successfully say I did 30 days with zero meat. So to not bury the lead, that is why I’m […]

I have always wanted to up my cocktail game at home, but really haven’t put in any effort. Part of the reason is I’m the sole drinker in our house and mixing a drink alone sounds well…like something an alcoholic would do. I’m far from that. It’s rare for me to even order a drink […]

You can download and subscribe to The BeanCast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcast content. I’ve done quite a few appearances on the BeanCast and always find Bob Knorpp to be […]

A friend of mine posted on Facebook if any of her friends used services like Blue Apron. I had been considering it for sometime, but just never took the next step of committing to an order. With some renewed curiosity, I decided now was the time to look into a meal delivery service. What I […]

I’ve been writing about food since 2009 on this blog and even earlier with my former Detroit Eats website back in 1997. I haven’t done much with video or audio when it comes to food, but that is changing as I am going to make some appearances on the Podcast Dad Spotlight starting this month. […]

Pizza Farm with Nick Offerman – watch more funny videos Remember when the federal government claimed pizza a vegetable because it has tomato sauce? Whether you do or do not, it doesn’t really matter as every parent knows school lunch is a joke. A really, really sad joke which is why our family packs a […]
